Society & Culture - 6 June 2007

For those who like to dive below the surface. Is there a rhythm, cycle, or tide effect you've noticed when you're participating here? In other words, does that 'sense of knowing' (whatever you might call it) that you rely on for your questions and answers come and go like the tide? Is there a best time for asking or answering? Do you stand under the light perpetually or as the world turns? (dark to light, light to dark, dark to light) What's your pattern? Are you aware of a rhythm? Is it hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly, or at your command anytime you desire? Are you aware of the rhythms and cycles of other Avatars? Are there others here that you walk, run, dance or 'fight' in time with or do you follow the beat of a different dummer? I'm talkng about those times when the knowledge and words seem to flow out effortlessly. Those times when there's so much inspiration that volumes could be written. Or am I just imagining it?

Yes, I'm speaking directly to christians again. Some of you say you've studied your religion and found it to be true. I think you just investigated the bible from bible-believing sources such as the Christian Science Monitor or other religious based sources. If you perform an objective search of the history of the Jewish and Christian religions, you find that the evidence points elsewhere. You find that most of the stories originated elsewhere, and that neither is historically accurate, although they do use historical events as backdrops. It's akin to writing a WWII novel using historical characters and events, just changing the names to prevent being sued. But somehow you all seem to miss this. So again, I ask, have you really searched for truth, or have you simply searched for confirmation of what you think you know? Why is it so hard to look objectively for the truth about your religion?

If we are to try and gain more acceptance and understanding, please do not simply assault theists with name-calling. It is not an effective way to gain acceptance and fight the prejudice against us. I urge you to engage in serious debate and use logic and reasoning to explain why we do not believe in God. And also, don't just say "the bible is fiction". Provide your reasons. When we use our logic, the theists have a much harder time arguing against us and we then start to gain others understanding of our beliefs. And that, I believe is what we want most. We don't have to respect belief in the supernatural but namecalling and weak declarations are our biggest obstacles for getting theists to actually listen to and consider our reasoning with an open mind.

I've just seen a lot of it here and I think it is counterproductive to our cause. Thanks.

freedom of speech does not mean freedom to insult, for one. But give me your definition of what you think freedom of speech is.

the dixie chicks saying they were ashamed bush came from texas was NOT freedom of speech. Turning your back on the flag during the pledge of allegiance IS.

just an example of what I feel.

I hear so many times of someone that claims to love jesus yet needs to ask jesus for forgiveness of sins they commit. Please do not say they are human. If they know and love god they would not ever sin.

Why would a benevolent being with such immense power feel the need to create other lesser beings that would worship him? Please enlighten me.

So I was reading Genesis last night and I noticed that in the very begining when its talking about how "God man heaven and the earth" yadda yadda yah, theres a quote from God that says something along the lines of "I will make man in our image." The thing im courious about is that fact that he said OUR, rather than MY. I'm not sure which line it is exactly, but I know for sure he clearly says man will be made in our image. Who is he speaking to?? Wouldn't God have been the only being in existance in the very begining of time?

1) Bible thumpers can pass on this one, please. I ask for genuine answers, not memorized ones and insensitive legalistic jargon.
2) And pro gay people: the key word here is "WANTS TO", not "forced to". This is asked about gays who desire change for their own reasons. This is not meant to be about all the rest who are fine with their lifestyle.

As christian parents is it healthy for us to encourage our sons and daughters to date while they are in the pre and teen years?
Can these experiences do positive or negative things for them and how have you seen it affect young people in your generation.

A time and season for everything....How can we teach our young people this in relation to dating and courtship and marriage as christian parents and youth workers.

tonight we went to a restaurant for dinner. Well on the way in when we got to the door I saw an old couple and the woman was headed to the door and was preparing to open it for me, she was wearing the same color top as me also. I then realized, to my surprise to, that old woman was a reflection of me coming up and reaching for the door! It all happened in a split second but I just kept my humor and told my husband and we got a good laugh out of that! But it was kind of a strange feeling. LOL.
